If you get an offer on your property that you consider too low, resist the urge to react in a negative way. It is normal to feel disappointed or even insulted, just try not to show it!

Why? Because even a low offer means, INTEREST! That means the other party might still consider a higher counter offer. And, they will be much more receptive to your counter offer if the atmosphere remains positive.

As always, I ‘m here to help you buy or sell a home when you are ready!

I thought you might like to know what folks are saying about the level of service I provide.

"Eunice did a thouroughly oustanding job in all aspects of our search for the perfect home. She briefed us very well on the geography of the region, where to focus our attention and how to get the best value for our dollar. She was always there when we needed her and always available to answer our myriad questions. She understood the urgency of our situation to find the ideal home in minimum time and did a throughly flawless job. She directed us to shopping areas, banks and places of interest which information we have found indispensable. We recommend her highly and without reservation. Our experience with her has been outstanding in all respects."

"We've moved every 2-3 years, so have a lot of experience with realtors. Eunice was the best of all of them. Her most important trait was listening to our needs and only showing us properties that were a good fit. Our needs changed during the process, to which she adapted quite quickly. I would definitely recommend her. "

"She was amazing, we as First time home buyers need a lot of help. We also were not from this area she helped us learn about the area. We were pregnant when searching for a home so she helped us look for good school districts as well as helping us find a doctor after we moved here. We still are friends and talk frequently. She was not just our Realtor but our first friend in a new city. "

Radon is a naturally occurring, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas that is dispersed in outdoor air, but which can reach harmful levels when trapped in buildings. Scientists have long been concerned about the health risk of radon, but there has been overwhelming proof that exposure to elevated levels of radon causes lung cancer in humans.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General's Office estimates that radon is responsible for more than 20,000 lung cancer deaths per year. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Breathing it over prolonged periods can present a significant health risk to families. However you can’t see or smell radon, people tend to downplay the health effects and ignore the possibility that there might be a silent killer in their homes.

A family whose home has radon levels of 4 pCi/l is exposed to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if that family was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site.

Testing homes for elevated levels of radon is simple and inexpensive. Radon test kits can be purchased at your local hardware and home improvement stores or directly from radon testing companies. They are reasonably priced. Radon problems can be fixed by qualified contractors for a cost similar to that of many common home repairs such as painting or having a new water heater installed.

If you or someone you know is purchasing a home you may want to consider having the home tested by a qualified contractor when you do your inspections.

According to recent data, the total annual production of pumpkins in the U.S. was 931 million pounds. Illinois led the country by producing 429 million pounds, followed by California and Ohio.

Thanks to the popularity of “Twilight” and “True Blood”, vampire costumes are anticipated to be this year's hot Halloween outfit. Also, look for plenty of Na'vi characters from the movie "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland" characters, such as Alice, Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.

Last year, the annual per capita consumption of candy by Americans was 24.3 pounds. Kids consume a large portion of that on and during the days immediately following Halloween.

Don’t Forget:

Daylight saving time ends Sunday, November 7, 2010, at 2 a.m. Most will set their clocks back one hour. Arizona (except some Indian reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa do not observe daylight saving time.Hope you have a fun and safe Halloween!

On Saturday, September 11th, 2010, the American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display the American flag on the ninth anniversary of one our country's worst tragedies. Please do this honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms. The American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.

Honestly, I think we as Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.
